TZ was given the opportunity for a three-pete yesterday and to the relief of all sitting around the table didn't pull it off. Actually he said he didn't want to win since the pot was low and he'd be forced to take the Mrs. to Rudy's for dinner if he won. So now we are growing the pot again and are close to $40.00.
We had a good sized crowd, 14 for golf. Kennel Club and his crew posted the low score. Since none of them were present to collect (they wanted to be off first so they could run off to meetings) we are holding the money in escrow.
There has been a running debate for years about the difference in handicaps between the white and blue tees. Most everyone seems to think there should be a greater difference because of the yardage difference. Hopefully this issue will soon be settled. The course is scheduled to be rated on July 13th. In preparation for this process I brought in the USGA rating manual for everyone to look at. One person exclaimed and I quote "this is really complicated". My reaction to that was no kidding. I've been working with the rating group for 5 years and am just starting to have a basic understanding and appreciation for the process. I also ran a simple test on one of our own who seems to think he is 5 strokes better off the whites than the blues. Much to my amazement using 5 recent scores form each tee I learned that the average difference was less than one stroke (this was after discarding one unusually high score from the white). You can draw your own conclusion.
Golf over the next few days will be limited because of scheduling issues.
